Surely Windows Update should be telling me to update to IE7, shouldn't it? It most definitely did not.
That's just it. I installed the .NET updates. I installed WMP11 which was listed. I updated everything listed under Custom for Windows Update. IE7 was never listed anywhere. When I got done with my updates I re-checked Windows Update and I had absolutely no updates available.
So, I'm more than a little confused. Even if I didn't want to update to IE7 it should still be listed. :suprised:
It would be nice to not have to do updates after installing SP3 but I can handle .NET framework, WMP11, DirectX and IE7 but they should most definitely be listed so I can do so.
Nope. Of course its not listed.
IE7 is not officially part of Windows since the EU legal issue.
Why don't you upgrade to Microsoft Update. Then you'll see IE7 listed.
I agree with why IE7 isn't included in Windows, but MU will only provide updates for other Microsoft products such as Office. IE7 is a Windows component, and would be available with only using Windows Update.Nope. Of course its not listed.

Now you can get updates for Windows, Office and other Microsoft applications all in one place. Microsoft Update is a new service that brings you all the features and benefits of Windows Update plus downloads for other Microsoft applications including Office.

I do recommend using MU though.
No, MU provides all the updates for Microsoft software including Windows.
No it is not!
IE6 is a Windows component.
Since the EU anti-competitive legal case IE7 is not a core component. Which is why it is listed in Microsoft Update and not Windows update.
Try to keep up...
I know why they can't bundle/include it in the OS, but I'm still not sure why it isn't showing up in MU/WU. I feel like I'm beating my head against a bloody rock here though
IE7 should show up in WU, or MU, I don't see why it would be restricted to either. It's a Windows component, you are right - I'm still confused though
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0
DoNotAllowIE70=1
its fine - i have used it on my quad core pc and its stable, even have a few friends running it and they don't seem to be having any issues
Could always uninstall if you lay it over your current OS build.hehe, that's hardly a qualification to install it yet. :lick:
I'll wait until my AV and other major 3rd party software publishers I use say their software is compatible with it.
If I did install it any time within the next month and it broken something, then it's my silly fault.
I've been down this route so many times...
